why has this site chosen to use the custum forum and not the bridge? if i migrate to a different bb in the future or upgrade bb, which solution would be easier to use (the database of users is full) the custum or the bridge? thank you

Because the bridge didn't exist then? And the Forum plugin does the job quite nicely.

given the chance to do it again with the options now, what would you choose and why?

I'd say, if you already have a phpBB forum or there's some feature in phpBB that you need, then by all means use the bridge.

Personally, I'd go with the Forum plugin for any new installs. I've tried getting some sort of integration / cooperation with YaBB going for a while before I eventually gave up. The plugin does everything I needed so far ...

bye, Dirk
